Did you know that studies conducted in the United States have shown no increase in the cancer rate around nuclear plants?

Did you know that the group of women in Japan that Olanoff is referring to has been protesting anything nuclear since we dropped the A-bomb?

Did you know a Chernobyl-like event can’t happen here? Our plants have containment buildings to prevent this; Chernobyl did not.

Did you know that the Fukushima plant could have been shut down safely after the earthquake, had it not been for the tsunami? There is no record in the history of humankind of a tsunami occurring in Oswego.

Did you know that there is a very adequate evacuation plan in Oswego County? It would be very difficult to evacuate any large city, for any reason. (Think Katrina.)

Did you know the federal government built a nuclear repository, but thanks to protests by environmental groups, spent fuel rods can’t be shipped by train, even though this would pose very little risk? (Chlorine tank cars pose a greater risk to the public.)

Did you know that groups like Peace Action would also like us to shut down coal-burning power plants? Our power grid is running at maximum capacity; if we shut down 20 percent or more of the grid, where will we plug in our electric cars?

Did you know that the odds of you dying from a nuclear power plant are less than having a satellite fall out of the sky and kill you?

Did you know that you are more likely to die thanks to a nuclear environmental group than from nuclear power plants? How can this be? Think irradiation. Activists falsely say irradiated food will harm you and that it has not been approved for use in food. This is false. Irradiation has been approved by the FDA, USDA, AMA and WHO. According to the Center for Disease Control, 2 million people a year suffer from food poisoning, with 600 of those dying. The CDC also states that if we irradiated 50 percent of our food, there would be a million less cases a year.
